Off to England for a week!

verboten1 · January 31st, 2015, 01:39 PM

Tomorrow I hop on a plane to Manchester! It's my first time to The U.K. But not Europe. I'm headed over for a meeting, but planned an extra few days for some sight seeing ( Pub Visits....lol)

I'll be staying in chester, one of the old Roman cities in England, I'm kind of stoked to go somewhere with actual history, that's my favorite part about Europe!

Cool! Have fun, learn lots, and post a picture or two.

verboten1 · January 31st, 2015, 02:01 PM

I'll learn about all the beers I can

I plan on walking the walls, checking out the amphitheater, and the cathedral.

The old pubs are what interest me a lot though

Give the occasional new pub a chance, too.
Remember, old pubs were once new pubs.

Don't forget an umbrella!

dcj13 · January 31st, 2015, 06:02 PM

Who uses them?

verboten1 · January 31st, 2015, 09:44 PM

Hah, I bought a travel umbrella today!

And FFS be careful crossing the road!
The traffic all comes from the "wrong" side

I already tried to get in the driver seat, my driver said "wrong side! You're not the first to do that though!"

Considering what a long drive is in the states. You are correct In that statement. I've found many pubs with good real ales. At this point I'm content with where I am
